As Icarus touches the ground following his flight, he finds himself face to face with a beautiful young creature, who is as inquisitive about him as he is about her. Unable to communicate, they begin to mime each other, and then... fall in love.

With one wave of his mighty wings, the Guide releases The Pride from her subterranean exile. Icarus sees her and is immediately drawn to her side. Their body language is poignant and poetic, yet tentative. Slowly, they draw nearer until finally, their hands embrace. No sooner have they locked their hands in love, than the heavens revolt. The Promise flees underground and Icarus is left desperate, disconsolate as before. The Guide does his best to oppose the malign forces... to no avail.
